description_en: Genus of 25 species of evergreen shrubs and small trees from sands or sandy loam areas of mostly coastal habitats in Australia. They have small, often crowded, simple, entire, leathery leaves, and bear terminal "bottlebrush" spikes or heads of flowers. Each flower is composed of 5 small petals and a crown of conspicuous stamens, which in some species give the flowerheads their main colour. Where temperatures drop below 5°C (41°F), grow in a cool greenhouse, moving plants in containers outdoors during the warmer summer months. In milder climates, grow at the base of a house wall or in a shrub border.
hardiness_en: Frost tender; K. baxteri and K. capitata may survive short spells around 0°C (32°F).
